Best Foot Forward

Big big big sounds from Vaggio, featuring a little bit of “Let No Man Put Asunder”, released Josh Wink’s Ovum.

What a fucking break. Close your eyes, imagine a big room, and let those hairs on the back of your neck step right up.

Here’s a list of everything I love about this:

• Tight bass
• Warm keys
• Cover art
• Future noises
• Imagining a smoke-filled jazz bar filled with cartoon musicians…
• *Puts down jazz fag, steps away from cyberspace.*

Sexy, late, deep business in Tanner Ross’ first solo release.

‘bSide’ itself is a mid-tempo, lazy groove which gently opens out with warm delayed vocals and creeping drums - hypnotic and subtle, it’s one hell of an intro but the drop into the fat, sumptuous bass hook is pure joy. Steadily joined by soaring, high-end keyboard licks that balance the track beautifully, there’s a sudden realisation the title of ‘bSide’ is a in-joke that’s being shared.

Mr. Oizo channels the ghost of that little furry yellow bastard Flat Eric into this remix. A total bassy squelchfest, and probably the best record you’ll hear today.

It’s Saturday. It’s wet. Stay inside and listen to some Mancunian things that bang and wobble.
